Why hello! My name is Ashley and I think I am overweight. I used to live in Orange County, California and I attended weight watchers when I was like 13. I wasnt overweight or obese but I wanted to be super thin and I wasnt super thin. I moved to Tennessee and totally let myself go! There is such a difference between California and the south. In California you are not normal if you are not skinny. In the south, the men LOVE the curves. They love a little something to grab onto. Well, I have been going to college for about 3 years at a university and I have joined a sorority. I have a best friend in my sorority and she lost like 30 pounds in 3 months. The girls I hang out with dont eat really and I think if they can loose weight, then I can!! It seems like everybody I know is loosing weight and basically I feel the need to keep up with the Jones and loose weight as well. I weighed myself a long time ago (a year or so ago) and I was in the 180’s. I just started to eat less…maybe too less…and randomly exercise and I went down to 171 (from a 177, since i weighed myself recently) in a week’s period. I think thats normal. My boyfriend actually thinks I may have signs of anorexia in the beginning stages. Who knows. I do eat….I have to eat. BUT..if I do eat it is either salads (useing lemon juice as my dressing) and then maybe having a side of potato salad and a few bites of chicken or beef (since i work at a BBQ restaurant) for dinner. I usually sleep through breakfast because i sleep in. Basically, I think this website will encourage me to help loose the weight that I WANT…NEED to loose. I have been on every diet known to man. I have done the whole atkins diet(ever since i could remember), useing laxatives as purging, barely eating, useing diet pills, trying to exercise…you name it. As far as i am concerned, this is going to be the time when I actually loose the weight. I WILL see resaults. I do have an achievement which I noticed this week. I went shopping and I usually fit into XL shirts and size 14 pants or dresses. WELL…i walked into an Ann Taylor shirt, found a size L shirt…tried it on and it was kinda loose on me. THEN i walked into New York and Co and picked out a size 12 and 14 dress and the size 14 was actually too big. I ended up picking the size 12. Chya.
